Hi really cant wait for next adventure in my life. Bought a couple of hectares in the near countryside. Whilst building our house I'm keen to build network of new friends. So where do all the good people hang out around Udon?

Thanks

Get involved in a sport initially like Golf/Football if you play. There are threads on here about Golf section and a Football team

Thought there was a Lawn Bowling Club in Udon should get many opportunities there for a chinwag

Try this link for the venues for the breakfasts meetings on Mon, Wed and Fri. Blue Orchid is closed now for three months, so we will be meeting at Irish Clock this Friday. By then the website should be updated.

Speak for yourself SFG, I personally know a good number of fine People in Udon .....

Really depends what your interests are. If you are looking for a place to have a few drinks and meet some folks the Sports Bar would be a good place to start as will the soon to open Tap & Bottle Top. Los Amigos another nice place for a meal and a few drinks to meet some folks.

Hammerhead where are you dis-locating from ?

yeahhh, what are ya ??

You are allowed to "Call a Friend" or "Use the 50/50"
Why they want to know is beyond me
Welcome to Udon
Bubba's is a great place to meet people, and other places that have been suggested so far

Good Luck

I really think that a new member on this forum should be welcomed with better and more welcoming manners !!!
Not all of us here are Viet vets....And some us might be slightly younger..
Just my 5 Bath....

Hey, thank you so much for your responses, been offline for a day or two.

Socksy - Football sounds a bit too energetic in 35 degree heat so i'll give that one a miss. Played lots of rugby and football in my life already. Got a bug for golf now so that seems to be a good option. Mind you, only saw a few 9 hole courses within a reasonable distance from my land - are there any nice 18 holers up there?

Semperfiguy - I've been to Udon about 6 or 7 times and I didn't find it too difficult locating a few good 'ens. I know what you mean and heard plenty last year about Western style Mafia descending on Udon, hence the loaded question! Ta for the link. There are good and not so good people everywhere, I think the trick is finding the former and avoiding the latter.

Aardvark - (actually that name always reminds me of the Blackadder sketch when they've burnt Dr Johnsons draft dictionary, did you see it? - Blackadder exclaims to Prince George: "Aardvark, your highness, can't you see that, it's a bloody aardvark"

Hope to meet up with some good people in Udon!

Hope noboby takes this the wrong way but I'm not into the whole "Brits abroad" scene. I hear lots of people complaining in England about foreigners and the fact that a lot don't mix in. So, i'll be learning the lingo and integrating cos I don't wish to be looked upon the same way.

Dezzer/Maaka - I'm a coming from near Bath, southwest England.

Wife is in love with my dog, so got no choice, gotta bring the little rascal. I think his flight is more expensive than ours! Looking to arrive early December.

Thanks all

Oh welcome welcome welcome dear Hammerheads..so wonderful that a new member seeks to come spoon with us..
Indeed, it is a momentous occassion and apparently calls for the red carpet treatment, and much grovelling..

Forgive dear Hammers, but it appears I have ruffled afew of my fellow members standards, in the way we are to welcome such fine gentlenmen as yourself..However sir, you will see, or perhaps you already have that I approach this forum in a lighthearted manner, which appears to have no center, and my compass do not always point north..

However let me explain for explaining sake , that my earlier glib cut to the chase remark, was intented to preen some further information from you as to where you hail from, and further, what takes your fancy, so then I could ascertain whether I might have something in common with you, and therefore in the future we might become chums..so, ' what are ya ' ???

enough grovelling..

and Boes, if you are going to sit in the wings, and only stick your head out to whinge ever now and then, then at least welcome the dude in the manner you so want...walk the walk brother..
I see you are in my part of the woods, so I will look forward to bumping into you on the street..

Cool response dude!

Do I detect animosity here ?

Who's bitchin. ?

I've met some nice people at Irish Clock over the years.

if your looking to die pal udons the place to be die of boredom that is not a place for a 45to 50 year old lol still some life in ya yet half the geezers here are pushing 70 lol
